I've been naughty 😂

So I am 6 weeks today post op - yay!
I have an appointment with my surgeon this afternoon, hopefully to be signed off to get back to work.....
I have been a little bit naughty tho, without really realising, until I was just thinking about how the conversation may go this afternoon!
I took those silly stockings off last week,
I have missed the last 2 injections,
I have been sleeping on non operated side for about 3 weeks
Sleeping on operated side for 2/3 nights
And yesterday I drove my car!
I haven't don't any physio since the first few days when it hurt - a lot!!!!
On the plus side, I am walking around 2 miles a day, and I've been doing housework - including vacuuming - since maybe the 2nd week...... hope that's enough to stop him telling me off 😂

Are you in the uk? I've never had to do that previously with operations I've had.....
So when I get back from seeing him later on I have to ring my insurance and tell them I'm cleared to drive, even though they're not aware I wasn't able to drive in the first place?
How do they know I'm telling the truth, I could just be saying it........
I think I will give them a quick ring now and see what they say, put my mind at rest

If you had an accident they would check with consultant after getting health records

The only downer was that the other hip is on its way out, but we've agreed a visit in 3 months to discuss further, I told him I just want to enjoy my new lease of life before having the other one done, but I don't want to leave it as long as I did this one,
I asked about the driving thing and he said it is a recommendation, each surgeon gives a different estimation of how long it will take but ultimately its down to the individual. As long as you can do an emergency stop.

It did feel a little like passing an exam, you reminded me when you said about the X-ray, I have got one leg slightly longer than the other now, but I don't care. I'm walking very easily and I can feel it is longer so it wasn't a surprise, but I just pick it up a little higher in the forward movement and it doesn't bother me.....it's easier than hobbling on crutches and being in pain! Anyway, I asked him to match them up when he does the other one 😂
Good luck for tomoro renee, I'm sure you'll be fine. Let us know 😃👍🏼
